I know that the red and blue points are physically different. What I was hoping for was confirmation from someone that early 45D and the somewhat rare 43D use the red points... like the distributor in my son's car.
I have sent an email to an acquaintance in OZ to see what he can tell me. I think my friend ran a 43D dizzy in his Mini so perhaps he will be able to confirm the Pertronix kit numbers for me.
